Thereupon, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er immediately raced towards the location of Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain at full speed.
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei once again interrogated the captured commander, obtaining detailed information about Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain.
Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain was the place within the Corpse World most concentrated with Corpse Qi energy and Corpse Path laws; it was also the Corpse World's most important corpse-refining base. To put it simply, over half of the Corpse Soldiers possessed by the Corpse World were refined within Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain.
Particularly high-level ancient corpses—the vast majority were refined at Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain.
One could say that Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain was one of the Corpse World's most crucial foundational assets!
"Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain! If I destroy this corpse-refining base, the Corpse World will surely be in anguish," Ye Yunfei remarked coldly as he stood within the flying boat, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Corpse Mountain.
Half a day later...
"Brother Su, we've arrived at Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain! It's right ahead!" Situ Kong'er suddenly informed Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's spirits lifted.
Immediately, the two of them emerged from the flying boat and peered into the distance.
Indeed, there stood a towering black mountain ahead, shrouded entirely in thick, dark Corpse Mist.
This dark mist was a coalescence of Corpse Qi energy and Corpse Path laws, concentrated to an extreme.
The mountain was utterly massive, appearing like an absolute behemoth.
From a distance, dense clusters of coffins of various colors could be seen piled haphazardly all over the mountainside.
Amidst the surrounding air also stood numerous black Formation Flags, swirling with Corpse Qi.
Arranged according to a specific pattern, these flags formed several powerful grand arrays, tightly protecting this mountain.
Simultaneously, a massive contingent of Corpse World forces was stationed around the mountain!
Ye Yunfei also sensed sharp auras lurking in the area around the mountain; each sharp aura represented a Mind Star Realm expert.
A quick tally suggested at least twenty Mind Star Realm masters were guarding the mountain's perimeter.
Additionally, Ye Yunfei sensed two exceptionally powerful auras—experts of the Star Shattering Realm!
Twenty Mind Star Realm masters, two Star Shattering Realm experts!
"No wonder the Corpse World is one of Central Divine Land's super factions, possessing so many Mind Star and Star Shattering Realm masters," Situ Kong'er couldn't help but exclaim.
One must understand, these Mind Star and Star Shattering Realm masters permanently guarded this Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain, typically never departing. And aside from these masters, the Corpse World still possessed a large number of Mind Star and Star Shattering Realm experts!
One could see just how terrifying the Corpse World's overall strength was!
"That's only natural. These Central Divine Land super factions don't ordinarily reveal their true strength. The Corpse World's experts we were aware of previously are merely a fraction. Within its headquarters hides a large group of masters. Otherwise, how could it deserve the title of 'super faction'? However, what of it? I will definitely annihilate the Corpse World," Ye Yunfei replied.
The next moment, Situ Kong'er landed before Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain.
"Halt! This is a crucial corpse-refining area! Unauthorized entry is forbidden!" Situ Kong'er had barely steadied himself when a dozen or so men emerged, blocking their path, one of them speaking sternly.
"I am a disciple of the Ninth Elder. My master has sent me to find Elder Youyan here to deliver an important message," Situ Kong'er thought for a moment and said.
"A disciple of the Ninth Elder? Your identity token?" a man asked, scrutinizing Situ Kong'er.
Situ Kong'er produced an identity token and handed it over.
"My apologies. Elder Youyan has already entered a Supreme-Grade Corpse Refining Cave and gave us instructions that for the next few days, he will be in seclusion refining corpses. No one is to disturb him. If you wish to find Elder Youyan, you'll have to wait until he emerges from seclusion," the man addressed Situ Kong'er.
"But I have urgent, critical matters that I must convey to Elder Youyan personally," Situ Kong'er insisted.
"There's nothing I can do. You know the rules of Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain as well. Once the portals of those Supreme-Grade Corpse Refining Caves are sealed, no one can enter or establish contact with those inside. Unless it's the World Lord, the three Grand Elders, or the thirteen Senior Elders, none can reopen a sealed portal to barge in. So, I can't help you. Please return. Alternatively, you could ask your master, the Ninth Elder—being one of the thirteen Senior Elders, he can certainly enter a sealed Supreme-Grade Corpse Refining Cave," the man answered.
Since the commander whom Situ Kong'er had transformed into was a disciple of the Ninth Elder, the man patiently explained all this.
"Brother Su, what should we do?" Situ Kong'er sent a sound transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Ask exactly which Supreme-Grade Corpse Refining Cave Elder Youyan is in. We'll fight our way up by force," Ye Yunfei pondered briefly, then said with a gritted resolve.
"Fight our way up by force?" Situ Kong'er was startled.
This was a vital location of the Corpse World. Once a fight broke out, the Corpse World masters and troops guarding the vicinity would undoubtedly swarm them.
Furthermore, the news would spread rapidly, and likely the entire Corpse World's forces would rush to this location.
"There's no other way. We must act quickly. That Elder Youyan has taken Miss Lü into a refining cave; by now he may have already begun the refining process. We have no time to waste," Ye Yunfei answered.
"Yes, the situation is indeed extremely urgent," Situ Kong'er nodded.
"Alright, tell me which Supreme-Grade Corpse Refining Cave Elder Youyan is in. I'll report back to my master and let him come find Elder Youyan," Situ Kong'er addressed the man.
"Elder Youyan is in Supreme-Grade Corpse Refining Cave number one. The corpse he's refining this time is certainly of very high quality, so I dare not disturb him," the man answered.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower.
RUMBLE!
Ye Yunfei erupted with his physique power, shooting towards the middle-aged man like lightning.
Ye Yunfei's physique power had now reached 260 Flood Dragons. Unleashing it at full strength, its might was utterly terrifying! Immediately, terrifying energy gales began to whirl across the area.
The man was only at the perfect level of the Tribulation Birth Realm. Faced with Ye Yunfei's terrifying physique power, he was instantly suppressed and immobilized; even his Soul Body was under restraint, unable to react.
Ye Yunfei grabbed the man in one hand.
His other palm swept horizontally, unleashing a torrential surge of physique power.
POOF! POOF!
Wherever Ye Yunfei's hand swept through, the surrounding Corpse World troops and men exploded into puffs of blood mist, dying instantaneously.
"Let's move up!" Grabbing the man with his right hand, Ye Yunfei used his left sleeve to sweep Situ Kong'er along and shot towards Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain using his Spatial Instantaneous Arts.
BOOM! BOOM!
Immediately, layers upon layers of arrays continuously manifested ahead, blocking Ye Yunfei's path.
"Do they think these formations can block my path?!" Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
Ever since arriving here, Ye Yunfei had immediately released his Soul Power to study and analyze the arrays on this mountain; he had long since comprehended them completely.
